The question arises from time to time which schools might make big moves up or down in the rankings over the next decade or two. To produce some sort of rough proxy of potential to succeed, I ranked schools based on an equal weighting of their current US News composite reputation scores and the total size of their endowments. Endowment figures come from the 2006 NACUBO Endowment Study and are for parent institutions or university systems, not the law schools alone. For schools not covered in the NACUBO survey, I pulled numbers from their most recent IRS Form 990 on GuideStar.org. Private and public schools are ranked separately. I did not attempt to factor in the "virtual" endowment of tax revenues received by public schools. When using state university system-wide endowment figures, I divided them by the number of law schools supported by the system. The REP and $$$ scores are percentile rankings on a 500 point scale. Equal total scores get equal MLTS ranks. See Law School Endowments for notes.
